That is a good article. Thanks
It makes me wonder why truckers are not paid more. I would think the market pressures of supply and demand would push up the rates.

Does anyone double clutch any more? I haven't hit the clutch aside from starting, stopping and "Oh S*** moments" in... well, I don't remember the last time I actually double-clutched...

Then again, this is in the "new drivers" forum, so I guess it would be more likely to apply.

The article DOES mention shifting without using the clutch... so I'm just being a smart a** really. I'm bored and didn't have anything better to do! Have a good night all!
